My bike has been lowered 2inches. I am debating on raising it back up to stock hieght because i think its affecting the turning. anyways my question is it just the rear suspension or do i have to do something to the front?

Ok, 1. lowering a bike will deffently effect the handling of it. If its lowered 2" in the back, I would think the front is lowered too. If your lucky you'll have a "dogbone" in the rear. Some only have one adjustment, while others can differ..like1"-whatever. Very simple to do, just re adjust the back dogbone to stock height. If the front is lowered, 1.The forks are reworked. 2.The forks are slid up in the triple tree. Im not sure if the top od the forks should be even, with it or not?

Factory suspension setting is 33mm between top of fork cap and top of upper triple clamp for the front.
